8lanco

Inspired by Billy Joel and The Beatles, 8lanco is a Norwegian artist who writes songs that stay with you. His breakout single Man Out of Me has passed 5 million streams since its release in August, taking him past 500,000 monthly listeners and a fanbase of 300,000 across platforms with The US, UK, France and Germany as his top markets. His second single, Every Little Thing, arrived on 16 October to strong support from the streaming services.

The live side has grown just as fast. Signed with Polar Artists in the Nordics and supported by Live Nation in UK/EU, headline shows in Bergen and Oslo have sold out, and his London debut at The Grace on 19 November sold out three months ahead, with Vienna sold out two months ahead, and Berlin (Privatclub, 2 December) is tracking the same way. Four new Norwegian dates follow in January and February 2027, in Oslo, Bergen, Bryne and Trondheim, and he returns to the UK from March 1st-4th with shows in Manchester, Birmingham, London and Bristol. A debut album, Nordic festivals and further European dates await in 2027.
